We've got an order going in with a new vendor this week, hoping to find some nice gems (including jumbo blue rams and nice big cory cats).
They also carry plants so I'm ordering some staples (and tiger lotus) to fill in the plant table tanks a bit:

Prices look reasonable. We still have lots of Val in stock, nice red dwarf lilies, tropica swords, and our remaining crypt spiralis has been sending up nice red/bronze leaves in the high-light tank.

They've been pricey. Rhinogobius candidanus has been available but would retail around $35 ea, 2 for $60.
I haven't seen R. duospilus (R. wui) listed lately.
I love gobies, so I will try to get some when the price is reasonable.

I took home a trio (1m2f) but there are still at least a handful left.
they are young but colored up nicely - red/blue bodies, yellow trim on the fins of the male I grabbed. No yellow bellies on the females yet.

How small are the peacock gudgeons? I'm interested in obtaining a pair of these but I want to ensure they won't be snacks for the existing population (3" tetras, 2" blue rams).

Nice I'm coming by today to take a look at them. Rich will you be there today at all? I have a few strands of fissidens you can try to get going. If not ill try to leave them in a Betta bowl or somewhere you can qt for a bit.

I've got a handful of Chlamydogobius eremius coming in this week - depending on how they look I may add more to next weeks order (I want some myself) -- I've gotta decide how much space I want to devote to them at the store.
(I might setup a slightly alkaline tank for them and some cool Pseudomugil or Iriatherina rainbowfish)
